Hezbollah says it will support Lebanon’s ceasefire efforts with Israel

Human Events-

On Tuesday, the Lebanese terrorist organization Hezbollah said it now supports a ceasefire with Israel, a move which the US State Department said during a briefing showed they have been “getting battered.”

Hezbollah’s deputy secretary general, Naim Qassem, made the announcement during a televised address, hours after the terrorists fired over 100 missiles from Lebanon toward Haifa in Israel, the New York Post reports. He began by stating that his militants were fighting back and making progress, deterring Israeli ground incursions, despite “painful blows” they have experienced in recent weeks.

He then went on to state, “We support the political efforts led by [Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih] Berri under the banner of achieving a cease-fire,” according to a CNN translation. “Once the cease-fire is firmly established and diplomacy can reach it, all other details will be discussed and decisions will be made collaboratively,” he added. Up until this point, Hezbollah had vowed not to stop attacking the Jewish state until the war in Gaza ended, leading the US to believe the group is being destroyed by Israeli forces. more here

  1. Fine. But first, Hezbollah must reimburse Israel for the cost of defending herself. Second, every Hezbollah leader must be turned over to Israel. Third, Lebanon must surrender all the Lebanese land Israel controls. Otherwise, the bombing will continue until morale improves.

  2. “”We will have peace,” said Théoden at last thickly and with an effort. Several of the Riders cried out gladly. Théoden held up his hand. “Yes, we will have peace,” he said now in a clear voice, “we will have peace, when you and all your works have perished–and the works of your dark master to whom you would deliver us. You are a liar, Saruman, and a corrupter a men’s hearts. You hold out your hand it to me, and I perceive only a finger of the claw of Mordor. Cruel and cold! Even if your war on me was just–as it was not, for were you ten times as wise you would have no right to rule me and mine for your own profit as you desired–even so, what will you say of your torches in Westfold and the children that lie dead there? And they hewed Háma’s body before the gates of the Hornburg, after he was dead. When you hang from a gibbet at your window for the sport of your own crows, I will have peace with you and Orthanic. So much for the house of Eorl. A lesser son of great sires am I, but I do not need to lick your fingers. Turn elsewhither. But I fear your voice has lost its charm.”
    -J. R. R. Tolkien, “The Two Towers”

  3. Allah, obviously, favors the Jews. Look at the history just from 1948 until now. Obviously the moslems have attacked constantly yet have never done any good by so doing. That militates for the thought that Allah favors the Jews in this contest.

  4. “Hezbollah says they will agree to a regroup and resupply.”

    “Cease fire so they can restock more rockets.”

    Yes, it’s called a hudna.

    “We support the political efforts led by [Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih] Berri under the banner of achieving a cease-fire…”

    Nabih Beri has been in Lebanon wars and politics since before Reagan. Since bore almost anybody in our current government or Israel’s current government. This is business as usual for him, and not a cause for celebration for Israel.

    Hezbollah is not going anywhere, and when Israel rejects or violates a ceasefire proposed by the old master Nabih Beri—not Hezbollah—the Lebanese anger will be directed at Israel. “Human Events” puts a happy face on it, and it pains me to say this, but Israel is dangerously spent, and reeling worse than Hezbollah right now. Israel needs the ceasefire/hudna as much as, if not more, than Hezbollah.
